The
Long Climb, 5.8
Somehow I managed to get out the camera in the middle of
the infamous Mummy Crack on the second pitch. One can only
wonder if Robbins and Wilson, who did the first ascent in
1952, had done the Mummery Crack on Aiguille de Grepon in
the French Alps and twisted the word around?
To start this route it is generally considered a good idea
to omit the original first pitch in favor of that nice crack
seen leading straight up to the base of the Mummy. It is the
first pitch of the Wong Climb (confused now?), a soft, but
long and excellent 5.8 fissure. |
